What do I feed a bicolor blenny?

Bishopsnet · 12/18/2016, 12:33 PM

Hello,

I've had a bicolor blenny for about a week. He nips at the live rock a lot but if I feed pellets or brine shrimp he will ignore it. Do I feed him veggies?

The one I had ate just about everything. Just keep offering different things until something sticks. (flakes, frozen, live etc)

What was it eating at the LFS before you bought it?

Try spirulina sinking pellet, very small grade.

I love mine and feed it sinking pellets, seaweed, but he/she eats pretty much anything. It's a good grazer.

Is this just seaweed from the supermarket or do I have to get a special kind at the store?
